Kevin and I stayed at The Suites at Yale New Haven last night. We did not want to leave dads side. Let me tell you all, these Suites are amazing! Discounted rate for family/ patient, kitchenette, living area, bedroom with 2 queen beds and full bathroom. So cozy and comfortable, and clean! Parking and 24hr transportation to and from the hospital all included. 
We left the hospital at 7pm just before visiting hours were over. We got Pepe's pizza for dinner and then settled in at the Suites.
I called the floor at 5AM and got an update from dad's night nurse. He had a restful, quiet night. His blood pressure is stable. Plan is for paracentesis today, which will make him more comfortable. (Paracentesis is when they drain the abdomen with a needle to make a patient more comfortable). They will continue to treat the pneumonia with IV antibiotics. 
We will do our best to keep you all updated. Please text my dad, as he will be bored in the hospital. Just refrain from texting between the hours of 10PM and 8AM so he can rest. He is not accepting visitors at this time so we do ask that you respect his wish. He loves to chat via text, and might be up for a phone call if you ask him. 
He is a fighter and is not giving up just yet!

Just to clarify, Kevin and myself did ask my dad if he wanted to go home on hospice yesterday and not treat this. But he refused, and said he is not ready to give up yet. Since he still wants to fight, there was no other option but to be admitted to the hospital at this time. 

Keep him in your prayers! XOX
